Night filled the vast land, and moonlight illuminated the lingering death. This was a tragic scene of a mountain of corpses and a river of blood. The magic left a remnant of fire, beating with despair. On the bloodstained battlefield, there were no more humans, but there were thousands of monsters.
Zhang Mu was half-buried in the pile of corpses. His entire body was wet as if he had just been pulled out of the blood pool. A fatal wound spread from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, almost splitting him in half.
Cold, cold, life is passing, consciousness is gradually blurred.
The eastern sky appears a touch of white, dawn is coming, dawn also means the end.
In just over 70 days, the entire Jiang City was completely wiped out!
Four million humans, all dead!
Once a bustling metropolis, it has now become a paradise for monsters.
Perhaps the breathing sound attracted the monster's attention, but a series of heavy footsteps approached. Soon, the mountain-like body stood in front of him, blocking the dawn light. The monster was three meters tall, had dark green skin, ferocious fangs, big eyes, and a mace stained with red and white.
The ogre found the surviving survivors and could not help but smile cruelly. He raised his mace and smashed it down heavily.
Zhang Mu lost consciousness.
...
16 July 2015
Like a short moment, like a long century. The silent consciousness was suddenly pulled back from the abyss, all consciousness returned to the body, and suddenly sat up from the bed.
Where is this?
Zhang Mu looked around and finally his gaze fell on the mirror opposite him. The mirror reflected a young face. His black hair was thick and messy, and he was not handsome. However, his facial features were regular, and his features were very delicate. His face was a little pale, and his face was covered in cold sweat. He looked as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.
"My rental house?" Zhang Mu touched his intact body and revealed a look of disbelief." Didn't I die in battle?"
Was everything just a nightmare?
Take a few deep breaths and calm down first. The electronic clock on the wall showed that it was 21:30. If his memory was correct, there were only two and a half hours left before the game started. Of course, maybe it's just a coincidence. But at this moment, a familiar bell rang in his ears.
Zhang Mu's heart suddenly turned cold. The vague past became clear again... He realized that this was exactly the same as the situation in his memory. This call was made by Sun Lin. She was Zhang Mu's college girlfriend, at least for now. If there is no mistake, Sun Lin's first sentence after the phone is connected should be: Where are you?
A female voice came from the phone." Where are you?"
Zhang Mu's heart sank." At home."
"I'm downstairs."
"Why don't you come up?"
"No, come down. I have something to say to you. I'll hang up first."
Sun Lin hung up the phone directly. Zhang Mu listened to the blind tone, and his thoughts began to become chaotic. The exact same situation made Zhang Mu realize that there was a serious problem. Those might not be dreams, but everything would happen and repeat itself.
Sun Lin was waiting downstairs. She had to face whatever she had to face.
Zhang Mu pondered for a moment before dressing and going downstairs.
The night was cold and misty, and the street lamps were slightly scarlet. The world seemed to be soaked in blood mist, and a strange aura pervaded it.
Sun Lin stood under the street lamp, beige T-shirt, cropped jeans, yellow curly hair draped over her shoulders, expensive leather bag in her hand, youthful and beautiful, dazzling, attracting passers-by's attention. When Zhang Mu walked over, her beautiful face was covered with frost.
"The great writer slept for a day?"
Once again, the familiar face that had been haunted by dreams appeared in front of him. There was a feeling as if he had lived in another world. Although time could dilute emotions and blood made people numb, experiencing the same scene still made him feel a little sad and sad, especially knowing what was going to happen next. If memory serves me right, I was writing a horror novel recently, and the atmosphere at night was more likely to generate inspiration, so I stayed up all night to finish the manuscript and slept during the day.
Sun Lin's face was expressionless. Her eyes glanced to the side and she said indifferently," Some words have been hidden in my heart for a long time. Let's find a place to sit down and talk?"
"No need. Just say it."
"Let's break up!"
If he had been lucky a moment ago, he could now be sure that everything was real!
Zhang Mu took a deep breath and asked calmly,"Because of Huang Kai?"
"You know? This is for the best. I don't want to hide it anymore." Sun Lin seemed to deliberately amplify her voice, and many passers-by cast strange gazes." You are steadfast and motivated. You are also steady and careful, but you lack passion. It may give people a sense of security, but there is no lack of security in this era. What girls nowadays pursue is passion and romance. I don't think you know anything about life or love, so you're not prepared to continue!"
Zhang Mu was expressionless. His black eyes were like a bottomless cold pool, calm and deep. His performance was really unexpected. He was too calm, so calm that it was a little scary. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, giving Sun Lin a bad feeling.
She was a little flustered. Without waiting for the other party to open her mouth, she said,"Yes, I liked you before, but I found out that you are not the type I like." Huang Kai is generous and cheerful. He can give me everything I want, unlike you who just knows how to shrink into the room and type the keyboard! Love can't be forced, I hope you understand!"
Sun Lin too understand him, unfortunate childhood experience, develop unique character, Zhang Mu is not good at words, like reading and writing, from high school is a small famous writer, good at writing suspense horror novels, manuscript fees to pay all college expenses, meet Sun Lin's luxury expenses, replace old appliances for the family, but also just went to college sister bought a new computer, in the eyes of others, is an introverted but gentle person. His joy and anger are not visible, his thinking is meticulous and delicate, when he encounters any difficult problems, sometimes the surface is calm, but the heart is brewing a good response plan.
It was undeniable that Zhang Mu was a very outstanding man. However, compared to Huang Kai, his qualifications were too far apart. The Huang family was quite famous in Jiang City. It could be said that there were many high-ranking and wealthy businessmen. They had all the wealth and power. Sun Lin was a vain girl. She didn't want to let go of the opportunity to become a phoenix, so she wanted Zhang Mu to give up completely!
Zhang Mu's gaze became as cold as a blade." Do you think Huang Kai is stronger than me?"
"That's right!" Sun Lin looked into his cold eyes and felt like she had fallen into an ice cave. She had never seen such a terrifying gaze before. She quickly said," You have to understand that I don't owe you anything. Since I can find a better life, you should be generous and bless me as a man!"
He said,"You are right, everyone has the right to pursue life. However, you shouldn't treat my dignity as a stepping stone to climb higher branches."
Sun Lin panicked." You, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Mu's speech was always neither fast nor slow."As for you, do you think that a man who instigates a woman to speak out and shrinks his head is stronger than me." Then, from a man's standpoint, I do have to do something."
About a hundred meters away, a black BMW stopped by the roadside.
Zhang Mu rushed forward like a gust of wind. He opened the car door and pulled out a fashionable youth wearing silver earrings.
Huang Kai exclaimed,"What are you doing? You're fucking crazy!" He was half a head taller than Zhang Mu and had an excellent physique. At this moment, he was pulled out of the car like a broken sandbag and fell heavily to the ground.
Sun Lin screamed,"Stop!"
Huang Kai had been secretly pursuing Sun Lin for half a month, hiding it from everyone. Today, he had successfully confessed to her. He was holding the mentality of watching a good show. He came to see Sun Lin dump Zhang Mu and then drive a new car to pick up the woman in public so that he could appreciate the other party's desperate appearance. Sun Lin was also happy to treat this as a pledge, so she actively catered to Huang Kai's ideas.
Who would have thought that Zhang Mu would recognize Huang Kai's new car? Who would have thought that Zhang Mu, who was usually calm and calm, would actually do such a crazy thing in public?
Huang Kai cursed,"Bastard, do you know who I am?" My father is the bureau chief. If you dare to make me lose a hair, I'll kill your whole family…"
Zhang Mu picked Huang Kai up and slammed his head into the car. He then raised his hand and punched Huang Kai with a left hook. He knocked out two of Huang Kai's teeth first and then punched with his right hand. His tall nose bridge was almost broken.
Huang Kai was stunned by the beating. Before he could retaliate, Zhang Mu raised his knee and hit his abdomen hard, making Huang Kai almost vomit his dinner. Zhang Mu raised his hand and slapped him a few times, making him unable to distinguish between east and west. His cheeks were burning and swollen like a pig's head.
Sun Lin cried out in panic. A few passers-by nearby were attracted to her and started discussing.
"How can we fight like this!"
"The rich second generation stole someone else's girlfriend and got beaten up!"
"Then what's there to say? You deserve to be beaten, you deserve to be beaten, beat hard!"
A few onlookers, not only did not stop, but also shouted happily. People tend to hate the rich and like to sympathize with the disadvantaged in life. When you know what happened, choose to watch.
"You treat me like a soft egg? Are you proud of your father?" Zhang Mu pressed Huang Kai, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, to the ground. Instead, he held his arm and said calmly," Come, call me father. I'll let you go immediately."
Huang Kai was furious." F * ck you! Ah!" Before he could say the last word, he heard the sound of a broken arm. His left arm was broken cleanly. This brutal method scared the onlookers. Someone had already called the police.
Zhang Mu grabbed Huang Kai's other hand." You still have one arm and two legs. I'll give you three more seconds."
"Father! Dad! Father!"
Huang Kai shed tears and cried out three times before he fainted from the pain.
Zhang Mu kicked the unconscious Huang Kai,"Good son!"
Sun Lin was completely stunned." You…you're really crazy!"
"Those who only want to live by relying on others will always be foil products. It is better to hold your own fate in your own hands than to hand it over to others. Sun Lin, this is my final advice to you. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other." Zhang Mu raised his head and looked up at the night sky. He said in a slightly hoarse voice," The sky is changing. Take care of yourself."
Huang Kai lay motionless on the ground like a dead dog. Sun Lin stared blankly at Zhang Mu's departing figure. This usually gentle and introverted man actually had such a strong and domineering side, which made Sun Lin unable to calm down. Her mood became abnormally complicated, and she felt as if she had lost something precious forever.
Zhang Mu returned to his one-room rental house. It was not a big place, but it was clean and tidy. Other than the computer for daily writing, there was nothing valuable. Zhang Mu is originally from Yancheng, majoring in Chinese at Jiangcheng University. He is 21 years old this year in his senior year and is practicing at a magazine in Jiangcheng.
Simply change clothes, put on a cap, and immediately go out.
The security guard went downstairs and was inquiring about Zhang Mu's residence. He brushed past the security guard as if nothing had happened. He turned into a dark corner and climbed over the wall to leave the community. When walking in the busy and noisy streets, his thoughts could not be calm. Because he still didn't understand the situation.
Why would someone who should have died be reborn in the past?
Or, not the so-called rebirth.
However, due to a special opportunity, Zhang Mu was lucky enough to foresee the future. He was equivalent to a player who had participated in the game's inner side. Two months of killing life was a special training. This allowed him to possess a large amount of valuable information, and his psychological quality had also been honed. His starting line was higher than any other player.
Zhang Mu would not endure a second insult, nor would he want to die a second time!
Zero, the game will start on time!
